Abstract
In general terms, most Americans agree that the use of bait cars by law enforcement is justified, for they consider it a common sense response by the police to the complexities of reducing car theft. They see it as an effective policy in two ways, for in addition to enabling police to catch car thieves in the commission of a crime, it provides a general deterrent, for active car thieves will be wary of stealing any car because they can never be certain whether a car they are targeting for theft is a bait car. This paper discusses the use of bait cars by police and sheriff's departments in the United States and looks at why, in spite of the many advantages this practice offers, it continues to be a controversial issue in the minds of some people.

From the Paper
"Car culture has been around as long as the automobile. For over 100 years the automobile has been an icon in American history and in people's lives. People have a long history of defining themselves by the car they drive, and judging others in this same way. What you drive can mean different things to different people, but it always means something. It reflects financial and social status, as well as personal expression. For people who wanted to be thought of as sexy, bold, and fast the muscle car was the answer. After the end of World War II, Americans became obsessed with the automobile. Suddenly, cars become more than just tools, more for just transportation they became identity to some people. People were what they drove. "It was only natural that such a state of devotion to an inanimate/animate object should lead to a prominent sub-culture of super-fanatics." (Anselmi, 1984) That love of the automobile became the catalyst for securing its place into pop culture and ultimately what has been the driving force behind the auto industry ever since. The muscle car was conceived by this driving force."

From the Paper
"When searching through the internet or through articles in magazines, only car rental portals are analyzed. However, those ones are just evaluated by e.g. insurance, service and quality of the car. What should be of even more importance are the prices offered by the companies renting out cars. This assignment is to show if car rental portals with a car pool can with compete with companies that offer the rental cars through the world wide web in regard to price. The comparison of prices between car rental portals and car rental web offers is the main focus of this assignment. However, the different prices for the rent of cars in the various cities of chosen European countries might be an interesting discovery as well."

Abstract
This paper documents a young persons search for the "best car around". It provides a look at advertising and marketing ploys, salesmen talk and other "useful" information that may cloud a person's judgement. The author decides that the best way to test a car is to drive it.
From the paper:
"What is the best sports car for the 2002 model year? This question, which this paper attempts to answer, is not as simple as it might seem to be at first because ?the best? can be very ambiguous. This is why every single car ad that you ever see on television or that you ever see in a magazine can claim that it is in fact the best without the manufacturers? being accused of false advertising, since every car is probably the best for someone. For example, if you have a family with eight children in it, the best car for you will be a really big van that every can fit in at the same time. If you use a wheelchair to get around, then the best car for you is one that a disabled person can use."

Abstract
This paper discusses the benefits of driving a hybrid car. It begins with a personal narrative by the author of his experiences driving a hybrid car and a tongue-in-cheek account of his attitude towards his car compared to other non-hybrid cars on the road. The paper then discusses the beneficial features of the hybrid car, both from the consumer's perspective and for the environment.
From the Paper
"Hybrids will allow drivers to get between 20 and 30 miles per gallon more than standard automobiles (Maillie). With this kind of savings, it won't take long to make up the additional cost of the hybrid. Hybrids save on gas in a number of ways. All hybrids shut off the gas engine automatically when the car is stopped (Maillie). The engine turns back on when the driver presses the gas pedal. The gas engine will also come on to start charging the batteries when they become low on power."
Typically, when a consumer buys products to help the environment the consumer pays more. Hybrids are a refreshing exception where the consumer actually saves money by doing something good for the environment. Not only does fuel efficiency save the drive money, burning less gasoline means that there is less pollution causing emissions released into the atmosphere (Maillie). There is also a lower level of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming, released into the atmosphere."

An insight about what the service is all about and how it originated and how has it become a necessity in today's world is described below. A car rental company or agency is basically the rents different kinds of automobiles for a short period of time for a certain amount of fee.
